Honeywell’s light industrial PD43 and PD43c printers take on-demand printing to a new level of simplicity, with a color graphic display that makes it easier to set up, configure and fine-tune settings without the need for a host computer. In fact, with Smart Printing capabilities, the PD series can run apps right inside the printer eliminating the need for a connected PC entirely.

Ideal for tight spaces, shallow countertops, and pull-out cabinets, the PD series was designed to deliver no-compromise printing performance in the smallest possible footprint.

According to industry research by the Freedonia Group, label demand in the U.S. will reach a projected $19.1 billion by 2017, representing an annual growth of 4.2 percent. With this increased label adoption, many manufacturers are looking for ways to combine operational flexibility with higher quality and output, while simultaneously reducing production costs and use of label materials. To help manufacturers produce vibrant, full color labels, Epson is introducing its new ColorWorks  C3500 Label Printer with Just In Time Color Labeling at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2013.

The ColorWorks C3500 system is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers producing labels for high mix, low volume applications that require multiple label variations. Within the U.S. label market, more than half of all jobs fall under orders of 50,000 or less. By leveraging the new printer’s on demand color labeling technology, 4-color ink capability, and increased print speed and image quality, manufacturers can reduce total labeling costs by up to 50 percent. These savings also come from the ability to eliminate inventory of pre-printed color labels and waste.
